Breaking: Stone Brewing Coming to Richmond

After an all-out push that included the installation of a kegerator in Virginia's Executive Mansion, state and local officials are expected to announce Thursday that Stone Brewing Co. has chosen Richmond for a coveted new production facility, its first in the eastern United States.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe is scheduled to make an economic development announcement Thursday at the mansion, and multiple sources confirmed that the announcement will focus on Stone.

The Richmond City Council recently created an exemption to the light industrial zoning rules to help smooth the way for the California craft brewery. The Richmond location is expected to include the popular restaurant and retail attractions seen at existing Stone World Bistro & Gardens locations. So, yea, it's a big thing.

Self-Defense Is Not Violence

Si vis pacem, para bellum

"Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."-- St. Augustine

Targets of the Left

"Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility."-- Catechism of the Catholic Church #2265
